Imagine a piece of AI software was invented, capable of doing any intellectual task a human can, at a normal human level. Should we be concerned about this? Yes, because this artificial mind would be more powerful (and dangerous) than any human mind. It can think anything a normal human can, but faster, more precisely, and without needing to be fed. In addition, it could be copied onto a million computers with ease. An army of thinkers, available at the press of a button. (Adapted from here). (Policymakers)
